Any good ones ? Quite like thrillers or something with a plot but not gore or horror.

Thanks

Bosch ,Sneaky Pete

I was going to recommend "my Octopus teacher"........it's a thrilling documentary about a man and an Octopus and well worth the watch.
But not a thriller.

Money Heist is brill

Money Heist absolutely awful IMHO

Loads of good stuff though.
If you haven`t seen Ozark on Netflix i`d start with that - 3 series and should keep you busy for the next month !

Took us about 2 months, could only get an episode & a half a night once the kids were in bed, then needed to be in bed for 10 to catch up on sleep

That's normal people usually have stuff to do & life's to live besides watching TV 24/7, it can take me quite awhile to complete series due to other distractions.

if you like comedies i recommend GLOW (gorgeous ladies of wrestling) on netflix.

Thanks for these. Will check them out. Started Ozark and will keep going but it’s not really gripping me.

The devil all the time on Netflix. Great plot set in 1950's hillbilly America. I really enjoyed it.

Start up on Amazon - loved it

It took me a while to get into it - very slow burner but its worth persisting

Unforgotten is on Netflix I think - that was quite a good series

Prime
Sneaky Pete

Pennyworth is very good imo. Ive quite enjoyed S1 of Umbrella Academy too

That’s about 10 hours a day - good effort !

Season 4 has been commissioned btw.

For the OP other recommendations :
Better call Saul
Bloodline
Sinners
Criminal (just watching this now)
Narcos (Mexico)

Films - just watched The Peanut Butter Falcon. Surprisingly very good as I’ve never heard of it till last week. Would highly recommend it.

Joining back up in a couple of weeks as the 3rd series of Star Trek Discovery returns

stick with it, i'm not a huge TV fan but Ozark is fantastic

I used to think the best telly ever was Breaking bad until I watched Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai is great.

I can't recommend The Last Kingdom enough. It is outstanding.

The Haunting of Hill House. Brilliant and the best thing I'd watched since Breaking Bad.

That was very good. It’s hard to get horrors right but that had me on the edge of my seat.

Disappointed with Ozark, I must say. It’s well shot and is pleasing on the eye but I thought it was ridiculously far-fetched. I like Jason Bateman but didn’t find him believable in that role, and Ruth’s character is just way OTT, despite being well acted.

Not Netflix or prime but on iPlayer is years and years

It’s brilliant and I totally missed it when it come out on 2018

1864

Very good !

First series of Trapped on Prime is good, if you haven't had enough bleak isolation so far.

Agree with The Last Kingdom, along with Vikings for an opposite perspective

We’ve also just binged watched all 5 seasons of Outlander

On Amazon prime if you are into Sci fi try the Expance there are 4 seasons and a 5th is in the pipeline , the first few episodes are hard going but I am now addicted it's about a future earth with a colony on Mars and a group of outcasts who do all the dirty work in space ie mining and they are all vieing for supremacy the special effects are amazing

Yes, Hill House goes way beyond "horror" imo, as it develops those initially "kid" characters as grown ups and examines the relationships between them etc and how the initial event has impacted their entire lives. It's brilliantly scripted and acted and is absolutely engrossing.
My son swears by Ozark, which is probably the main reason I've never even contemplated it!!
I thought Homeland was good for a series or three, but ran out of steam for me and I stopped watching.

Just binged Ratched on Netflix,absolutely fabulous television,recommended.

I’m enjoying Ratched too - I recommend

The Drug party in Ratched between Dr Richard Hanover and Henry Osgood is television not to be missed

One to avoid " The third day" which quite frankly is utter rubbish.

Ratchet was very good and different.

Just started to watch series 5 of Prison Break. Highly recommend

Designated Survivor, Narcos, there's loads. We really enjoyed the docus about American Football which started off with college football and then moves to the NFL. Mrs Rumble wants to go and see a game now

The fall. Superb, really most excellent.
Star Trek discovery is good, as was lost in space.
Unforgotten is great work from Nicola walker and Sanjeev bhaskar.
Breaking bad was immense.
Queen of the south also quite good.

Not sure it’s available on either Netflix or amazon, but if there’s a way you could watch Deadwood, I’m sure you’d be impressed. All dialogue, no action to speak of, but really well written and acted. Ian McShane is truly world class in it.

Just remembered, The last dance, which is the story of the Chicago bulls and Michael Jordan. Superb, and I have ZERO interest in basketball.

If you liked The Last Kingdom I'm almost certain you'd like Vikings, which is on Prime.

The Haunting of Bly Manor has just been released on Netflix, the follow up to The Haunting of Hill House. Looking forward to watching this.

Go on you tube and watch Series 1 episode 10 of My Secret Terrius. Fast forward to 53 minutes and watch last 5 mins. Remember this was made over 2 years ago. If that doesn’t scare you then nothing will

Mindhunter is excellent

Amazon Prime
Man in the High Castle
Left Behind 1 - The Movie
Left Behind 2 - Tribulation Force
Left Behind 3 - World at War
The Legend is Born Ip Man
The Imitation Game
Texas Blood (Not a horror movie)
The Nightmare Years (Not a horror movie)
Open Range
Rambo Last Blood
Midway
Burdon (Had to pay 99p extra but it was worth every penny).

American Barbecue Showdown!!

The Crimson Permanent Assurance, along with many other delights from the same film company have appeared on Netflix.

To think it’s nearly 40 years since it graced the theatres... and yet it still applies today

I’ve just started watching ‘The Boys’ on Amazon Prime.

It’s fairly cheesy but I’m still hooked.

Can't believe nobody has recommended Yellowstone
